ON PETITION

This is a decision on the petition, filed May 31, 2006, under 37 CFR 1.137(b) to revive the
above-identified application.

The above-identified application became abandoned for failure to timely submit a reply within
three (3) months of the mailing of the March 7, 2005 non-final Office action. No response being
received and no extensions of time being obtained, this application became abandoned on June 8,
2005. A Notice of Abandonment was mailed on October 19, 2005.

Applicant has submitted an amendment in reply to the March 7, 2005 non-final Office action, an
acceptable statement of the unintentional nature of the delay in responding to the March 7, 2005
non-final Office action, and the petition fee.

The statement of unintentional delay was not signed by a person who would have been in a
position of knowing that the delay in filing a timely response was unintentional. In the event that
petitioner has no knowledge that the delay was in fact unintentional, petitioner should make a
reasonable inquiry to ascertain that, in fact, the delay was unintentional. If petitioner discovers
that the delay was intentional, petitioner must so notify the Office.

The petition is GRANTED.

The power of attorney and change of correspondence address filed on May 31, 2006 is accepted.

The address given on the petition differs from the new address of record - the one associated
with customer number 47880. A change of address should be filed in this case in accordance
with MPEP 601 .03. A courtesy copy of this decision is being mailed to the address noted on the

Application No. 10/709,066

petition. However, until otherwise instructed, all future correspondence regarding this
application will be mailed solely to the address of record.

After the mailing of this decision the application will be forwarded to Technology Center AU
3711 for consideration of the amendment filed on May 3 1 . 2006.

Telephone inquiries should be directed to the undersigned at (571) 272-3230.
